However, the Awards ceremony was marred by disorganization right from the start as guests were kept waiting from 4pm till 6:30pm when things finally got underway when the little -known artistes took to the stage to entertain the guests.

There were some colorful performances despite the delays

Things got out of hand when the winners were announced and ushers were no where to be seen. In some instances, there would be no one to hand over the trophies or wrong categories handed to the artistes.

To make matters worse, the event dragged too long hours past time scheduled on the pragram because of the long speeches and Pastor Mondo Mugisha who decided to sell the VIGA Magazine to all the artistes present.

By the time the main categories were announced, the hall was empty as the bored guests walked away despite the MCS Natal and Wesley King trying their best to keep them entertained.
